Bus Safety

IMPORTANT SCHOOL BUS SAFETY ALERT HELP US PROTECT YOUR CHILDREN
AS THEY TRAVEL TO AND FROM SCHOOL

Certain types of clothing can be caught in the bus handrail or door as the child gets off the bus. In recent years, a number of children across the US have been dragged by a bus because their clothing was caught. Please take time to check your child’s clothing to make sure it is safe.

Especially dangerous are:

Long, dangling jacket or sweatshirt drawstrings

Long backpack straps

Long scarves or other loose clothing

Also, talk to your child about other bus safety rules such as:

Never run to or from a bus

Don’t push or shove

Never crawl under a bus

Cross at least 10 feet in front of the bus

Watch out for other motorists. They don’t always stop

SCHOOL BUS SAFETY IS A TEAM EFFORT NOTHING IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN A CHILD’S LIFE
